State Attorney's Office advises "Manatee County may not, in the absence of a statute so providing, enter into an agreement with a private company where the property appraiser provides such records in exchange for either in-kind services or a share of the profits or proceeds from the sale of the information by the private company"
“May a property appraiser enter into an agreement with a private company to provide public records, excluding exempt or confidential information, to such company which will then repackage the information and provide the property appraiser with either in-kind services or a share of the profits or proceeds from the sale of the information?”
